Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cups Blue cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once fully melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute until slightly golden and bubbly.
Gradually whisk in the whole milk and heavy cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the blue cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them. Pour one-third of the blue cheese sauce over the potatoes. Repeat this process for two more layers, making sure to evenly distribute the sauce.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top layer of potatoes and sauce.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after removing it from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
